SUMMARY:Postcard Party
DESCRIPTION:Send hand-written postcards to voters in states that will play a key role in taking back Congress and in electing leaders who will fight back against the current authoritarian regime. Postcards educate voters\, urge them to register to vote\, and urge them to vote for specific candidates in special elections\, primaries\, and the November 2026 mid-term elections. Hand-written postcards have been proven in multiple studies to boost turnout enough to swing elections. Each packet of 15 postcards has everything you need\, and costs $10 to cover stamps and cards for those who can afford it. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nIt’s more fun to write together\, but if you can’t stay\, you can also stop by and pick up postcards to write at home.

SUMMARY:Fix ICE!
DESCRIPTION:Come join us Monday and Tuesday 11-1 to protest ICE cruelties. \n\n\n\nWhere: Burlington\, MA: From 11–12 we hold signs on a busy street to communicate our message publicly\, and from 12–1 we gather outside the ICE office for a more informal time of signs\, speaking out\, connection\, and visible solidarity with immigrants while making our presence known to ICE.What to bring: A sign!Meeting point: Corner of Burlington Mall Road and District Ave\, closest to Pressed Cafe.After: Optionally join us for lunch at Pressed Cafe. \n\n\n\nParking near 1000 District Ave\, Burlington \n\n\n\nICE Jail\n\n\n\nFor a deep look at what happens inside ICE detention\, visit the full resource at https://bearingwitnessne.org/inside-ice \n\n\n\nInteractions\n\n\n\n\nImmigrants who are fortunate to leave the facility have shown gratitude for our presence and some share their stories with us.\n\n\n\nICE agents tend to cover their faces with masks\, many record us with their phones\, others give a satisfied smile or laugh\, they rarely say anything.\n\n\n\nThe security officers stationed at the front of the building have not hassled us.\n\n\n\nPassersby from nearby businesses often thank us for being there\, and many have shared that they never knew this was an ICE facility.\n\n\n\n\nParking for District Ave Protests\n\n\n\nThere is parking at busineses and on the street\, but there are risks. See information about where parking is officially allowed and the risk of being towed in the District Ave Area on the What to Expect page of the Bearing Witness page. Note that no one has been towed since Jared and Laurie started protesting in April 2025. In order to be legally towned\, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 266\, Section 120D specifies that in order for towing to occur you need to be warned by a sign or a person that parking is restricted. In addition\, the owner of the property must get permission from the chief of police or designee and provide certain information.

SUMMARY:ICE Out For Good Funding Fight Phonebank
DESCRIPTION:Our communities are being terrorized by masked federal agents. They’re teargassing babies\, kidnapping our neighbors\, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles\, and killing innocent people. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link\n\n\n\n\nWe have an opportunity to rein in ICE and Border Patrol at the federal level. Congress is currently negotiating funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)\, which includes ICE and Border Patrol.

This is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on these agencies and ensure they don’t get a single penny more to enable their brutality. \n\n\n\nJoin us every Tuesday at 1 p.m. EST while DHS funding is being negotiated to engage voters in key states and encourage them to call their Members of Congress and tell them to hold the line and demand that ICE’s terror tactics be stopped for good. \n\n\n\n(This event is presented by Indivisible Project.)

SUMMARY:The Founders Saw the Dangers of Great Wealth
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Dr. Daniel Mandell\, Emeritus Professor of History\, Truman State University.  Author of the “The Lost Tradition of Economic Equality in America\, 1600-1870.”  Dr. Mandell will examine politics\, theology\, economics\, law and literature to highlight how the founding generation of the United States feared that concentrated wealth would corrupt their republic.  Their belief in the need for a “rough equality” of property was shaped by Roman historians\, radical Protestant writers\, and Enlightenment philosophers\, and supported by the remarkable level of economic parity before the American Revolution.  In the wake of the war\, Americans generally believed that they lived in the most egalitarian country in the world\, but worried that it would be ruined by men using great wealth to gain power.  Although this tradition of economic equality would be marginalized after 1800\, it remained a significant part of American culture. \n\n\n\nReception Following the Lecture.  Free and Open to the Public.

SUMMARY:Talk to Our Neighbors About ICE | Phone Bank with SURJ!
DESCRIPTION:Right now is the time to intervene. To step up. To move our people. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the Trump Administration continues to deploy violent ICE agents to our nation’s cities\, we remain clear and centered on the following truths: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhite working class Americans have so much to gain by standing in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors.\n\n\n\nTrump’s aggressive and violent deployment of ICE is causing many white working class communities to re-evaluate their views and beliefs on immigration.\n\n\n\nListening-forward conversations that support people to reflect on their values\, feelings and experiences can shift their attitudes\, perspective and behavior.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat’s why we’re channeling these truths into a powerful action that you can take with us. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin SURJ to talk to key white working class voters about their feelings on Trump’s immigration policies and deployment of ICE in the key congressional districts that will determine control of the House in the 2026 elections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, we can move the needle and build power. No prior experience needed – we’ll provide all the resources\, training and support you need to phone bank with us to have these critical conversations at a critical juncture for shaping public opinion and our society’s commonsense beliefs around immigration policy \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Details

SUMMARY:Peoples State of the Union (LiveStream)
DESCRIPTION:At the State of the Union (SOTU)\, Republicans in Congress are once again bending the knee to Trump and hanging their constituents out to dry. Nobody should participate in Trump’s vanity project\, and that’s why Democratic leaders\, MoveOn members\, and everyday Americans most impacted by Trump’s chaos are coming together for the People’s State of the Union. \n\n\n\nPresident Trump has spent the first year of his administration making lives worse for Americans: slashing health care\, sending masked ICE agents to murder our neighbors\, and passing tax cuts for the Epstein class. We cannot give Trump the attention he wants\, or validate his lies to the American people. We cannot treat this SOTU like business as usual. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link\n\n\n\n\nJoin MeidasTouch and MoveOn as we present the People’s State of the Union alongside elected officials\, partners\, allies and directly impacted Americans. \n\n\n\nAdditional Partners:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWin Without WarCenter for Popular DemocracyClimate PowerCommon DefenseEconomic Security Project ActionFamilies Over BillionairesFWD.usFree DCIndivisibleInterfaith AllianceOur RevolutionPeople Power UnitedProtect Our CarePublic CitizenSocial Security WorksVera ActionVoto Latino
